چکیده
Aneurysm of the interatrial septum and mitral valve prolapse-SUMMARY Mitral valve prolapse is common but aneurysm of the interatrial septum is rare. We report a case in which these two abnormalities of myocardial structure occurred and postulate a common aetiological mechanism.

Interatrial septal aneurysm with mitral valve prolapse in a patient with Marfan syndrome—a caveat of note
An interatrial septal aneurysm is a localized segment of the interatrial septum that bulges into either or both the left and right atrium [1,2]. The clinical importance of such an interatrial septal aneurysm is that itmay be confusedwith an atrial tumor [2], it may be the cause of supraventricular arrhythmias [3] and it has a strong association with cryptogenic stroke in the young [4]. A review...

A 54-year-old man with a medical history of diabetes, dyslipidemia, and abdominal aneurysm was seen for fever of 1 month’s evolution with no attributable focus. The physical examination was notable for high-pitched IV/VI systolic murmur at the mitral valve; the remaining examination was unremarkable. Laboratory findings included anemia (hemoglobin, 10.6), erythrocyte sedimentation rate, 80; and...
متن کاملA closed interatrial septum aneurysm, filled with blood, mimicking a tumour in the right atrium.
We report the case of a 70-year-old woman with rheumatic mitral stenosis and a transient ischaemic attack. Transoesophageal echocardiography revealed a cystic mass in the right atrium, hanging to the interatrial septum by a pedicle, not circulating. The mass was heterogeneous and suggested a tumour (myxoma) or a thrombus. Surgical resection showed it was an interatrial septal aneurysm, closed o...
متن کاملHuge Interatrial Septum Aneurysm
Atrial septum aneurysm (ASA) is a saccular aneurysm of the interatrial septum, bulging into either atrium during the cardiac cycle. It is mostly congenital in natures and is often associated with patent foramen ovale (PFO). ASA is increasingly gaining attention as a possible cause of cryptogenic stroke. We here present a case of ASA in an elderly female in whom ASA possibly contributed to atria...

Percutaneous edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (PMVR) is widely used for selected, high-risk patients with severe mitral valve regurgitation (MR). This report describes a case of 81-year-old woman presenting with severe and highly symptomatic mitral valve regurgitation (MR) caused by a flail of the posterior mitral valve leaflet (PML). PMVR turned out to be challenging in this patient because of...
